Alness's High Street has a genuine claim to fame: in 2018, it was named the best in Scotland.
A bridge, a distillery, and a 19th-century boom
Alness grew up on the Cromarty Firth, formed from two older parishes either side of the River Averon. A Thomas Telford stone bridge, built between 1811 and 1816, still crosses the river at the entrance to the town, and the settlement expanded through the 19th century under Captain Hugh Munro of Teaninich, who founded the Teaninich Distillery in 1817.
Scotland's Champion High Street
The town's 506-yard High Street won Scottish Champion at the 2018 Great British High Street Awards, with judges singling out its reinvention into a street of florists, bridal wear shops, delis and bakeries.
